Structural Solutions that Increase the Dynamic Accuracy of a Wave Solid-State Gyroscope

The development of wave solid-state gyroscopes (VTG) is one of the promising areas of development of gyroscopic angular velocity sensors. VTG from the standpoint of manufacturing technology, tuning and control systems, as well as accuracy characteristics, has a number of advantages compared to other types of gyroscopes. When developing VTG, they strive to reduce the gyroscope's own care, zero signal bias, and the non-linearity of the scale factor in the operating temperature range However, when creating the device, due attention is often not paid to the existing opportunities to improve the dynamic accuracy of the gyroscope by developing promising structural solutions for building control circuits and information processing. The solution to this problem was the goal of the work.Using the methods of the theory of automatic control, the dynamics of a wave solid-state gyroscope with a metal resonator and piezoelectric elements in the closed-loop mode of Сoriolis acceleration compensation are studied. Piezoelectric elements perform the functions of displacement and force sensors.Two promising structural solutions for constructing VTG control and information processing circuits are proposed and considered. Relations are established for selecting the parameters of the links of these contours, which provide an increase in the dynamic accuracy of the gyroscope. In the first case, the proposed structure for constructing the VTG allows us to significantly reduce the dynamic errors caused by the difference in the scale coefficient of the VTG at different frequencies of the measured angular velocity in the bandwidth. Such a structure for constructing a VTG can be recommended when solving a measurement problem in which it is necessary to accurately measure the angular velocity, and the phase lag of the output signal in relation to the measured angular velocity is of secondary importance. In the second case, the proposed structure of the VTG construction corresponds to the transfer function of the relative measurement error with secondorder astatism, and the absolute measurement error in the frequency band of 10 Hz does not exceed 0.1 %.

Dynamic accuracy analysis of a 5PSS/UPU parallel mechanism based on rigid-flexible coupled modeling

In order to improve the low output accuracy caused by the elastic deformations of the branch chains, a finite element-based dynamic accuracy analysis method for parallel mechanisms is proposed in this paper. First, taking a 5–prismatic–spherical–spherical (PSS)/universal–prismatic–universal (UPU) parallel mechanism as an example, the error model is established by a closed vector chain method while its influence on the dynamic accuracy of the parallel mechanism is analyzed through numerical calculation and simulation. According to the structural and error characteristics of the parallel mechanism, a vector calibration algorithm is proposed to reduce the position and pose errors along the whole motion trajectory. Then, considering the elastic deformation of the rod, the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic equations of the mechanism are established by combining the finite element method with the Lagrange method, and the equations are vectorially superimposed by means of internal force cancellation to synthesize the elastic dynamics equation of the connecting rod. Based on the constraint condition of each moving part, the elastodynamic model of the whole machine is obtained. Furthermore, the effect of component flexibility on the dimensionless root mean square error of the displacement, velocity and acceleration of the moving platform is investigated by using a Newmark method, and the dynamic accuracy influenced by these dimensionless root mean square errors is further studied. The research work establishes an important theoretical foundation for the development of the prototype.

ON THE CHOICE OF THE PARAMETERS OF VIBRATION DAMPERS FOR HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS OF CONTROL SYSTEMS

The article deals with the problem of choosing OF the parameters of vibration dampers for hydraulic circuits of control systems, taking into account the provision of dynamic accuracy of the system after their installation. The concept of a correction factor, which is the ratio of Laplace images of the corresponding parameters of the working medium in the hydraulic circuit before and after the damper installation is introduced. A dependence that associate the relative deviation of the system-controlled parameter with the correction factor is obtained. A condition for checking the effectiveness of the damper, taking into account the preservation of the required quality of regulation in the system is formulated.
